A little touch of history:
Wagons hoppers were used for the unloading of goods taking place from below or on the side. The cargo is then guided through a hopper. Handling could be manual or automatic depending on the model, with the opening of the hopper controlled by a mechanical or electromechanical system.
Hopper wagons were intended for several types of use, namely:
- The transport of ore.
- The transport of ballast.
- The transport of salt.
- The transport of grain cereals.
